So just about every other Saturday Eric gets up with the girls and lets me sleep and he takes them to Krispy Kreme. I'm not sure if it is for him or the girls :) - just kidding Eric. He takes them and they each get to hold a little box of donuts on their laps while they drive home. Once home they thoroughly enjoy themselves as you can see. London likes to just eat the tops off which results in quite a large mess and Livy has just always loved her donuts! Daddy is just so much more fun than mom :).
This is London's latest outfit of choice. She puts this on a couple of times a day. She has to have two different dress up shoes (one of each on), the mermaid costume because it is a blue princess outfit (blue is her favorite color), a pom pom, a magic wand, and a princess hat. She gets dressed herself and then comes up right in my face and says "Mommy, I a pincess." So cute. She is a princess :).
Today we went to the annual Chandler Ostrich Festival. We happened upon it last year and had a blast so we made sure to make it there this year and gave ourselves a little more time. The girls (Olivia, London and Olivia's friend Abby) all got wristbands so they could ride all the carnival rides - which they loved. Olivia especially was a fan of the swings that spin around - a daredevil side of Livy we haven't seen before. London even enjoyed the little rides - except for one of the spinning ones that made her sick. We ate gross carnival food such as pizza, hot dogs, ice cream, and frozen lemonade. And Eric had an ostrich burger. Ew! We saw the world's biggest pig and checked out the sea lion show (yes that is right, they have a sea lion show at an ostrich festival - makes perfect sense, right?). For the conclusion of our afternoon we went to the ostrich races. They have little jockeys ride them bareback and then they have a chariot race where the jockeys ride in little chariots attached to the ostriches. There is also a camel race, a zebra doing stunts, and emu and chicken chases with little kids. It was hilarious, except for one of the jockeys fell off her ostrich, got trampled and was taken off in an ambulance - that was a little scary and sad :(. But other than that, we all totally enjoyed it. It was a gorgeous day - maybe a little too hot (mid 70's) because we all got a little sunburned. Anyway, we had a fabulous day and we are all exhausted and looking forward to next year's Ostrich Festival!!

The best is of London's morning hair! Krispy Kremes for breakfast!?! AND THEN a rockin' carnival!?!? Whooo yaaa! Why can't I be a fun parent too?!? After reading this little blip, my goal is to be more fun tomorrow- my motto "WWED"- What would Eric do!
That sounds like a lot of fun. You can tell London and Livy love those doughnuts. They are cute and growing up fast.
Everything except the Ostrich Burger sounded great! Love London's outfit. Hope you are doing well.
Sounds like so much fun. London's princess outfit rocks!
